To (ZZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, OLAF ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erskine, in the county of Polk and State oi hlinnesota, have invented certain new and useful ilniprmements in Bag-Holders, of which the followin is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in bag; holders and its object is to produce a device of this class that is simple in construction and Operation.

The invention consists in the comliiination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described in the following specification pointed out in the claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of said specification and in which Figure 1 is a view of my improved bag holder, partly in section holding a bag shown in section. Fig. 2 is a side view of the leap; holder in use a portion of the legs and of the bag being broken away. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 with the movable parts in an altered position.

Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

1 is the cone of my bag holder formed with a llared mouth 2 and with a bulged an nular base 3 and provided with legs 3*. To the cone 1 a plurality of ears 1 are secured each of which carries pivotally a clamp 5 formed with a recessed portion as 6 near its free termination and with an angular slot 7. The recessed portion oi the clamp is adapted to lit over and engage the annular base of the cone 1 when in operative position.

To the cone 1 a plurality of springs are secured as at 9 in the plane oi the ears 4 and said springs extend beyond the lower teri'nination oi? the cone 1 and are provided near their i'ree extremities with lugs 10 designed to abut the bulged annular base or? said cone and retained in "frictional contact therewith by said spring; each spring 8 formed with a slot 11 in the plane oi the slots 7 of the clamps and a movable ring 12 provided with handles 13 encircles the cone 1, each of said handles 13 being provided with a screw 14 that is slidably disposed in the slotted portion 11 of the springs 8; said ring 12 is further provided with lugs 15 provided with bolts 16 disposed in the slotted portions 7 of the clamps 5.

tlopies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by

Operation: When the ring: 12 is manually moved toward the flared mouth 2 of the bag holder the screws 1 t ride to the end of the slots 11 adjacent: that mouth 16 ride to the end of the angular slots 7 adjacent that mouth, the said bolts ha ving the effect of forcing the clamps 5 out oi eng neement with he bulged annular base of said cone and the screws 1 41' permitting the lugs 10 of the springs 8 to be manually forced away from the said bulged base. The mouth of the bag 17 to be held now passed over the said annular cone base and the ring 12 :li'orced away from the mouth oi. the cone into operative position causing the clamps 5 and springs 8 to press the mouth ot the bag; 17 against the bul qed annular base 2-3 or the cone retaining the bag; in open position. To remove the bag the ring l? is, 01 course moved into inoperative position and the bag withdrawn from the cone.
